Living Dead


You only Live once...

I only leave once...?

You only live once.

I only live once?

Maybe it is you that has one life.

One life to live once.

As for me  I have two lives

Twho lives to live twice.

One now

To live as I please.

The other in the after life

On the other side

Where I am really free.

Free of this imprisonment

Free as the sea

Free from resentment.

Ever since I learnt how to write I never stopped writing short stories, poems and ideas. I am from Africa living in South Africa, Joburg. I am a business man with a love for music and writing. Its lovely how a poem can be turned into a song. Rhythm and Words are my closest friends. I respect The Sound of Life and the power in following your Heart which makes Music till the day you die.
